Anne Marie - Live

Late night call from an old friend
Her voice, it was shaking at the other end
She said "I didn't know who else to call"
I know he doesn't treat her right
But she'll crawl back into bed tonight
Lie awake, wondering what could have been

Oh, Anne Marie
Won't you please, please, please
Tell me, what have you done?
Oh, Anne Marie
I'm begging you, please
Just get out while there's still time to run

Well he starts to yell when he starts to drink
And he starts a lot of trouble, never stops to think
About the damage that is being done
Oh, one night the bourbon flooded his veins
Like a raging black river of lust and pain
That would be the last time he'd raise his hands

She was shaking like a rocket on the boulevard
And her tears they were cold, but her eyes they were hard
She returned that angel to the bedside drawer
And she packed her bags and she moved away
He's the only reason that she ever stayed
Now she's out there, living on the run

Oh, Anne Marie
Won't you please, please, please
Tell me, what have you done?
Oh, Anne Marie
I'm begging you, please
Get out while there's still time to run

Well, my telephone, it don't ring no more
And last I heard she's at the Jersey Shore
If I believed in God I'd pray for you
But a prayer without belief
Is like a pill without relief
So I'll just save us both the letdown

Oh Anne Marie
Won't you please, please, please
Tell me, what have you done?
Oh, Anne Marie
I'm begging you, please
Get out while there's still time to run

Please stay out, please stay out on the run
